  perhaps another silly question, but i typically like to build with
all output generated in an external directory to keep my source
directory clean, but if i do that building the docs for barebox on the
"doc" branch:

  $ export KBUILD_OUTPUT=../barebox_build
  $ make docs

i still get the output files "Documentation/commands/*.rst" dumped in
my source directory because of:

docs: FORCE
        @mkdir -p $(srctree)/Documentation/commands
        @$(srctree)/Documentation/gen_commands.py $(srctree) $(srctree)/Documentation/commands
        @$(SPHINXBUILD) -b html -d $(objtree)/doctrees $(srctree)/Documentation \
                $(objtree)/Documentation/html

is this deliberate? it strikes me as inconsistent if i *explicitly*
specify an external build directory.
